@OlafS25 But you are treating the X1000 as a mainstream machine, on the other hand the system is targeted at well informed people (ie: hardcore users) which won't ask that question. If they can manage to deliver a good platform to this niche (with appropriate improvements in the software department) then who knows, they might come out with something "after" the X1000. Something that might appeal at a broader Amiga audience (it won't be mainstream even then let's be clear).

i am working in sales and it is always the same ... when a potential customer asks you why he/she should buy the product you must be able to answer this question by a few sentences. Or the customers must have a chance to try your product. Or you must have a factsheet that is showing the (technical) facts and where your product has advantages. If there is none and customers have no chance to try it out because they have to buy new expensive hardware you have a serious sale problem. It would have been better if Hyperion had used X86 and Standard Hardware instead of trying to copy the Apple concept. Propably they can´t change anymore at this point.
None of the Amiga related products are being marketed outside of the small community which they serve. They are all well aware of the current status of their work, and this is a conscious choice. X86 has little to do with choice. It has to do with legal issues.
